Linux gaming continues to grow in numbers, with 2K Australia's Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel officially being announced for the open-source platform.

Originally leaked through Take-Two Interactive's recent financial report, where the free operating system was listed, 2K confirmed the news to IGN. The game will now arrive on Linux alongside Windows, Mac, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 come October 16th.

Those hoping the news of the Pre-Sequel heading to Linux may give the original Borderlands and Borderlands 2 a chance at seeing the free OS future, sadly it looks like that won't be happening. Games.on.net notes that a previous Twitter post from Gearbox's Randy Pitchford somewhat clarifies the chances are very slim.
